guy on craigslist said he'd sell this to me and he said he has a lot. Is this accurate? should I buy them for a profit?

There's very little profit there today if they are junk silver coins. This is full melt price. If the coins are in good shape numismatically speaking, then buy them.

Yea, if they are VF or better I would definitely buy them as long as they arent all 1950's and 1960's. Other than a few semi keys, they need to be MS to be really worth more than melt...

If they are a bunch of VF or better Mercs, VF or better walkers, or any Barber coins G or better, I would buy them at melt all day long.

If you were to just buy them to flip them for a quick profit remember, most dealers will pay 75-80% of the melt value, so they can sell them at melt. So to just break even silver would probably have to go up about 4 or 5 dollars.

If you sell to collectors, it would only have to go up about 3 dollars to make about a dollar per $1 Face.

I would only buy them if they have numismatic value... If you are buying for bullion value, just go to a dealer and buy a 1oz round/bar.
